Dinosaurs and humans did not co-exist.

Where is your evidence. If you read the Bible there are various passages about dragons and the leviathan. Dinosaur is a relatively new term invented in the 1800s I believe.

Well, as anti-evolutionists are keen to point out, you cannot prove a negative. (You cannot prove that God didn't create the world, for example) But you can have enough evidence to make any rational person believe a negative has been disproved. In this case, the overwhelming evidnce (and lack of evidence to the contrary) would lead any rational person to believe that humans and dinosaurs did not co-exist.

"Dinosaur" may be a recently new term, but humans have seen the evidence of giant lizard fossils in the ground for millenia. The only mention of Dragons in the Bible is in Revelation, which is a vision interpreted as a prophecy.

Carbon dating does tell us how old organic material is.

But it is frequently misused and is inaccuarate over a certain number of years.

Frequent misuse does not mean it is wrong. I frequently misuse my calculator; that doesn't mean the calculator is wrong.. And apparently science has figured out that it can be inaccurate after a certain time period, and thus we know when and when not to rely on it so we're not being fooled.

Light travels at a set speed, and millions of years must have passed for us to see starts that are millions of light years away.

Tere is evidence that the speed of light has slowed from the mid 1800s and if calculated backwards is near infinite 6000 years ago.

Well, first of all, I think that measurements of the speed of light were not quite as accurate in the 1800s as they are today, so I'm not persuaded it has changed. And second, that's quite a leap to say it was infinite 6000 years ago without presenting an awful lot of observations and math.

For me, it all boils down to this: If you've ever been around scientists, you know they are always testing and criticising and poking holes in theories. The search to understand the world around us. That's the point of science. If there were credible evidence of creation in six days 6,000 years ago, you better believe the science world would publish and recognize it. It's just irrational to believe that hundreds of thousands of scientists have for centuries been involved in a consiracy to distort evidence in order to deny the biblical account of creation.

Well then to quote you "But you can have enough evidence to make any rational person believe a negative has been disproved. In this case, the overwhelming evidnce (and lack of evidence to the contrary) would lead any rational person to believe" that there is no MISSING link, as one has never been found despite the many fraudulent attempts.

How ever you are wrong if you go around touting that incorrect number on your calculator as correct

It's just irrational to believe that hundreds of thousands of scientists have for centuries been involved in a consiracy to distort evidence in order to deny the biblical account of creation.

However evolution has only been around for a about 170 years, as for your conspiracy theory, how about the lack of discourse in public schools. Secular educators refuse to even acknowledge that evolution has problems. Although one is sincere, they can be sincerely wrong.
